NEW! 750 Tyranid list vs Dark Angels

[nova]

So.. I'm new here, and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me some advice on how to build a 750 point list for use against Dark Angels. Just started playing nids and the only practice I've had is vs DA and sadly, I've lost both times. They were 500 point matches and I got thoroughly massacred both times. So I need some neckbeards to help me out. Board is 3 by 4, with moderate terrain so no issue on getting cover and I'll be closer to him then normaly done. His army will most likely have 2 10 man tact squads qith flamer/missile support. And a command sqaud with that 2/4 salvo standard. Dont think he'll bring tanks or transports as he only has 2 and he's quite fond of putting his guys in buildings. My list of models is 2 primes, 3 warriors(CQC load out), 3 raveners, 69 termies, 1 tervigon, 3 rippers, 1 zoan/DOM, and 1 dakk-fex. So... any suggestions?

HQ:
1 Prime

Troops:
3 vanilla Warriors
1 Tervigon
12 Guants

Heavy:
Dakkafex in Pod

That's 750 on the nose, and uses only models that you have. You can proxy or make yourself a spore for your Dakkafex ( I altered an empty blank CD thing for mine:

www.octave.com/image.php/images/products/HP-52x-CD-R-Gold.jpg?width=270&height=270&image=/images/products/HP-52x-CD-R-Gold.jpg )

The strategy here would be to use your T-gon as cover for your Warriors and Prime as you run across the board on turn one. On turn two your Fex should drop in behind enemy lines, and then you have him trapped between two MC's that could take out any Vehicle that he is going to field at those points. By that point you will have spawned a number of Gaunts and will have plenty of Dakka on the field as well to take care of his troops.

If he likes to hide in buildings--all the better for you. More cover, less LOS.

Hope this helps.

Ok, thanks for the help! He actually has a drop pod so ima just yoink that thing...

Oh wait, what upgrades should I grab? Thinking cata on tervigon atleast and LW/BS on prime?

[Ragged Warrior]

If you use the list I suggested, you wont have room for upgrades, as the army lands at 750 exactly. But, you could drop the warriors and that would give you 90 points to play with. Upgrading the Tervy is a great idea.

I tried so hard to wiggle a podded doom in haha but I just couldnt justify removing the warriors. They are good at this point level with a prime attached. I instead opted to add raveners and buff the tervi. This is 750 exactly

Thanks man, only problem is that all my warriors are CQC equipped. So no devourers on em. Might give em BS or rending cause I don't think he'll have a designated CQC unit. I'll see if I can't squeeze some RC onto my Ravener's. But thanks for the list man!
